ELinks via CVS

Note, as of 2005-09-15, the ELinks CVS interface has been
obsoleted. We have moved to GIT, which should bring more
flexibility to the development. Info on how to get ELinks via GIT
is given in the following section.

ELinks via GIT

To get access to ELinks via GIT you will need to have
the GIT tools
installed on your system.

In the following we will only focus on getting the most recent version of the
stable and unstable trees. See
the GIT tutorial for basic instructions in using GIT,
the GIT wiki for additional usage documentation,
or the GIT manpages
for information on doing more advanced things with GIT.

First, make the initial clone of the public ELinks GIT repository:

% git clone http://elinks.cz/elinks.git
% cd elinks

Then set up the stable branch. The last command should give you an
idea of the current branches in the repository:

The following instructions assume that your current directory is the
newly cloned repository.

By default the latest unstable development version will be checked out
in the newly created directory you just cloned. However, if you change
branches you can always get back to the unstable branch by checking out
the master branch:

% git checkout master

You can also get the latest stable development version via GIT. Note that
development in the stable branch is more slow and mostly involves backporting
of bug fixes. Just do this after you cloned the ELinks GIT repository:

% git checkout elinks-0.11

There may also be some other branches for separate development of some larger
experimental features etc. The old CVS history is available in a separate
archive that can be grafted onto either the stable or unstable tree by simply
running the following command in the cloned ELinks repository:
